Then you miss out the unmentioned part of the work - idle thinking. Not only the time spent typing something on the keyboard is work. All the time spent thinking how to solve a problem is also work.
try telling that to every manager i've ever had.
Walking to get a coffee is when I've solved some of the most complex problems in my head. Walking to get a coffee was also one of the few times I'd leave my desk. What even was lunch...
Or the fact that most jobs are not behind desks or keyboard....
Office drones forget that society requires different types of work done to function... They ways got that bias lol it is cross cultural too
That’s not how my employer measures productivity. They use keystrokes per minute. Gotta get good at idle typing.
This is true. I tend to do my best thinking away from work, and not part of my current work time.
"I got no work done at all today, it was all back to back meetings!".
My wife, regularly.
